Requests: Chat Moderator - Administrator - Bureaucrat - Patroller

This is Brickipedia's requests for bureaucrat page, on which any user may request bureaucrat rights. Bureaucrats have the technical ability to make other users administrators. All bureaucrats must already have passed a request for adminship, and be an administrator.

To file a request, place the following code under the "current requests" header, above any existing requests.

Requests made on this page are a vote, meaning that if they achieve at least 80% support then they will be closed as successful. Opposers must provide reasons for opposing. All requests with unanimous support last for five days, but those with any opposing votes will last for a full two weeks.

If a user has been nominated for bureaucrat before, add 2 to the end of the topic header. For users with multiple requests, add the respective number of the request. It is also considered good practice to link to previous requests for rights when nominating a user.

There is an archive here for bureaucrat requests.

Well, yup. I am nominating myself for bureaucrat rights.

  • I am active enough. I plan on being much more active, too.
  • I am trusted with administrator rights. And this right is basically an add-on where I can help out by closing requests, and add administrator to accounts.
  • And in the words of others - we do need more crats around.
  • I was a 'crat at the Customs Wiki on 'media, so I know how it works.


So, yeah. If you oppose this, please state reasons, I will try and reply. --User:CzechMate/czech 05:13, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

Support

  1. Definite support. Czech has become one of my best friends at Brickipedia in the past few months, and he's a great member of the community. Czech is responsible, respectful, and reasonable. He's always there when I need him, or an admin in general (except of course when time zones are way different, but that's not his fault. :3), and he's very helpful for both advice and just as a friend and wiki admin in general. He's also quite active in all namespaces on the wiki, which is a good characteristic to have in someone. I definitely trust bureaucrat rights in CzechMate, as he's been on of the most mature and responsible admins I've seen (who doesn't already have bureaucrat rights). Good luck, broski! :) --ToaMeiko (talk) 05:16, September 3, 2013 (UTC)
  2. A great, active trustworthy user. I actually thought he was one already. Legosuperheroesfan (talk) 14:44, September 3, 2013 (UTC)
  3. Per Meiko. Czech always keeps his cool, which is important for ANY staff member. And with the different time zones it helps keep this wiki safe 24/7! --Village.gw105 (talk) 23:55, September 3, 2013 (UTC)
    Notice to admins: before you go striking this, the user, on their old account, has over 100 mainspace edits, thus their vote is valid. --ToaMeiko (talk) 00:04, September 4, 2013 (UTC)
  4. <3 MsDtalk 01:16, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
  5. Though sometimes you may be a jerk, you are a great friend and I trust you more than many people on the wiki. You do have some issues, everyone does, especially me, but I still trust you completely. --Knight

Neutral

  1. Czech is a really responsible user, however, I don't think I could lean on any side. -User:Legoboy9373/sig 10:18, September 3, 2013 (UTC)
  2. I wasn't sure, until reading the votes below. You've been an amazing friend, but I have to agree with Boba, especially. Drewlzoo
I'm gonna stand aside here and vote neutral. This vote is subject to change. MsDtalk 12:22, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

Oppose

  1. This nomination surprised me, and in turn my vote is probably a little surprising to some people. Czech is a good friend and for the most part a beneficial member of the community, but there have been a number of incidents dotting his time here, including the recent mocking of Mr. Brix's logo contest (which was done with CM4S and one other user, I think). There are also some other vague issues I have, things I can't quite put my finger on. He also recently started saying he should be stripped of his rights because of the incident with Brix's contest, even saying things like he "doesn't need the rights anymore", which is why this nomination surprised me; I'm wondering now if the humility had been playing to the crowd. And lastly, Bureaucrat is more of an honorary position now--as we already have enough--and in my opinion the only one of the current admins really deserving of it is Berrybrick. -- Jeyo Lord VladekTalk The Forge 05:51, September 3, 2013 (UTC)
    That incident with Brix was several weeks ago, and Czech apologized very sincerely to Brix about it. I think Czech and the community could benefit more with him having these rights than without. In my opinion, based on your opposition reason, it would make more sense as a "Still has some room for improvement, but does well overall on the wiki" neutral vote, or however you'd phrase it. One mistake, especially one that is relatively old, and the fact that the user has not made such a mistake since, is not a reason to oppose in my opinion. It's a reason to be neutral at most. Like I, and others have said, in the current RfCM requests and my RfA nomination, look at the numerous positives, and don't just home in on one mistake. There are more reasons why Czech should have these rights than there are reasons why he should not. These are just my opinions, I'm not arguing your reasoning, but I think it makes more sense as a neutral vote. --ToaMeiko (talk) 05:57, September 3, 2013 (UTC)
    It was the recent past; not nearly enough time to see if it won't occur again. And my other reasons still stand. However, your opinion is noted. -- Jeyo Lord VladekTalk The Forge 06:01, September 3, 2013 (UTC)
    (irrelevant but in) I thought Berry had 'crat? ~ CJC 10:54, September 3, 2013 (UTC)
    Heh, so did I. I thought we made it a rule that you had to have 'crat to have CU. Oh well :S NovaHawk 13:34, September 3, 2013 (UTC)
    He doesn't even use admin rights for anything but seemingly personal decisions (hate to bring it up again, but such as CM4S). MsDtalk 12:14, September 3, 2013 (UTC)
  2. (I saw this as soon as it was posted, and have been thinking about it ever since.) Sorry Czech, like Jeyo, don't get me wrong, I like you a lot. But with recent things happening recently (the Mr. Brix blog thing with CM4S, and then the perma-ban of CM4S which I really don't understand (it seems like it was because he blanked his own userpage)), I can't really support this right now. If you posted it a couple of weeks ago, I would have supported without even thinking NovaHawk 13:34, September 3, 2013 (UTC)
  3. Per Jeyo, partially. Czech, you are an awesome friend, but why do you feel that you need the rights? It seems kind of sudden. BrickfilmNut (talk) 16:43, September 3, 2013 (UTC)
  4. Per Jeyo. User:Darth henry/Sig 22:52, September 3, 2013 (UTC)
  5. To make a user a Bureaucrat is to make their power permanent. If there is not an immediate need for Bureaucrats - say, all current Bureaucrats are retiring/retired, and if the person has done anything significant as of late that reflects negatively on them, then making them essentially unpunishable is not a good idea. Yes, Wikia can remove their rights, but from what I know, they act quite slowly. I have nothing against Czech as a person, I just feel that this is best for now. - BF2 Talk 00:10, September 4, 2013 (UTC)
    I hope my vote is valid. I do have more than 100 mainspace edits, although I haven't edited in a while. - BF2 Talk 00:14, September 4, 2013 (UTC)
    Quite valid; you have over 17,000 mainspace edits. -- Jeyo Lord VladekTalk The Forge 00:18, September 4, 2013 (UTC)
  6. Take a bit of NHL, a bit of Boba and a sprinkling of BFN, and you get my vote. My attempts to change my original view failed I'm afraid. ~ CJC 12:16, September 4, 2013 (UTC)

Comments

  • Regarding MsD's original oppose reason:
[9/3/13 3:28:10 PM] CM4S: Czech for bcrat
[9/3/13 3:28:11 PM] CM4S: what
[9/3/13 3:28:17 PM] Andrew (MsD): idk
[9/3/13 3:28:28 PM] Andrew (MsD): I went neutral because I saw a really big argument coming
[9/3/13 3:28:38 PM] Andrew (MsD): He's like 2-3 anyways
[9/3/13 3:30:28 PM] CM4S: I dont' even like him as admin
[9/3/13 3:30:38 PM] Andrew (MsD): he doesn't even use his rights
[9/3/13 3:30:42 PM] Andrew (MsD): and when he does it's biased
[9/3/13 3:32:13 PM] CM4S: say that and oppose him
[9/3/13 3:32:14 PM] CM4S:  :P

Relevant. --ToaMeiko (talk) 23:14, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

MsD came up with all the reasons. Sci just told him to. If MsD didn't want to oppose, he wouldn't have. And it looks like he didn't, although I'm not sure if he was pressured to do that or not. -- Jeyo Lord VladekTalk The Forge 17:58, September 4, 2013 (UTC)
That conversation was actually several hours after I opposed. MsDtalk 22:32, September 4, 2013 (UTC)
  • Neutral. If you are leaving what is the purpose of getting the rights? Klagoer
    • To secure them for the future, I assume. When I officially left, Ajraddatz removed my rights because I wasn't using them, which is fair (then I sort of came back and lost them). That said, it doesn't seem to apply to a lot of admins, but oh well. - BF2 Talk 02:32, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
      • Am tempted to remove all inactive admins' flags, but that would require a discussion first. Ajraddatz (Talk) 02:43, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
        • A discussion should be undertaken. I do agree with your reasoning for removing inactive admins' flags. - BF2 Talk 03:28, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
  • Since Czech has left, shouldn't we remove the nomination? User:Legoboy9373/sig 14:44, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
